useful Improvements in Machine Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an attachment for machines, and has for its object to pro vide a frame which may be economically manufactured, and which may be mounted upon the operating lever of the machine and connected with a rocking chair, so that a person while seated in the chair may con part and at the sides of the rocking chair 14; and by means of the pivot or bolt l5, the frontpart of the frame may upon lever 5 At 16, mounted uponarmportions8, are indicated handles or which may be heldor; grasped by the opveniently actuate the leve'r,-said lever being erator; and as described, the rocking movemoved by the rocking movement of the 'ment ofthe chair chair. I I ,back-and-foflh, of the lever. v IjFor purposes of illustration, the device is Since arm-portions 8 are of equal length, yoke 12 being disposed in a plane midway betweenarms 7 of the frame, the draft or chine, though it is apparent that it may be weight is applied equally to each side of the employed in connection with churns or other light manually operable machines.

The.- invention consists of the novel and useful formation, construction and arrangement of parts as described herein and claimed, and as illustrated. in the drawing, ing movement while disposed upon the supwhereinport or floor; during the rocking movement,

,a lateral turning movement of It will be understood, of course, that "the chair provides a. motor. w1th upright sides invented attachment mounted upon a wash-- ing machine and a rocking chair; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the parts shown-in Fig; 1. Fig; 3 is a plan view of the" attachment. 7 Referring now to the drawing for a more particular description, numeral 4 indicates a washing machine having an operating lever 5 mounted thereon; and to -produce a movement of the lever I providetheattachframe 6 substantially ofQU -shape and consisting of a pair 'of substantial-137T par- 7 with inturned-portions 8 formedmear their front ends, each of the inturned portions-having a forwardly projecting shank or stem 9 with an-Iangular or expanded terminal 10.
